I hate the accent of my prime minister Mark Rutte🤣. That said, eventhough I do not agree with alot of his policies in the Netherlands itself, I fully support his policy in regards to supplying and supporting Ukraine.

@margaret9314 what about all the Russian junk destroyed... exactly. Equipment losses are disproportionately in favour of Ukraine with Russia losing alot more equipment than Ukraine. I heard there was a nice exhibit in Kyiv with destroyed Russian tanks. You should visit it.

@margaret9314 if they stayed within those territories they occupied before the invasion than yeah. But there are also people in the parts that are attacked now which want to stay part of Ukraine. Their opinion doesn't matter to you does it?

@margaret9314 I support Ukraine, but that statement is false. Let's stay realistic. They lost Luhansk oblast for a reason. Lets keep supporting them so they can turn the tide and push the Russians out

@margaret9314 hahaha this comment is completely irrelevant to your earlier statement which I answered too. About the no match part. It is well known that the Ukrainian army is better trained, not referring to any recent conscripts, than the Russian and separatist armies. But the Russians have a considerable advantage in both men and material in the region. Nothing to do with being better fighters. About Lviv conscripts, well everyone fights better in their home region than they would be halfway across the country.

@margaret9314 Maybe you should learn geography when you try to be a smart ass. Then again I am sure you're Russian. So I shouldn't judge you to hard for have been educated poorly. As after all, you're just canon fodder for your government so why would they properly educate you. There is one oblast in the east completely occupied, Luhansk oblast. Which I already visited before the orcs came. There is two partly occupied in the east, Kharkiv Oblast (only a small part) and Donetsk Oblast (about half) which I both visited as well btw. Then there are 2 partly occupied oblasts is the south, Kherson and Zaporizhia oblast. With Nikolaev oblast being completely liberated and parts of Kherson oblast as well and therefore not under complete Russian control. Then there is the autonomous Republic (not oblast, but again I don't blame you. You're not at fault for the poor education in your country) of Crimea and the city of Sevastapol (which had/has a separate status from Crimea). So there is 1 fully occupied oblast and 2 partly occupied oblasts in the east. 2 partly occupied oblasts in the south. When you try to be a smart ass and show the Russian arrogance, atleast get your facts straight, because you look incredibly dumb now.

@margaret9314 also you really should visit the tanks. Especially since these are the coffins of your fascist countrymen )).

@margaret9314 self determination works both ways mate. Especially considering Russia violated Chechnya's right of self determination and the current Russian invasion is a breach not only of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity but also it's right of self determination. As "All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development." Which also means that Ukraine has the right to chose its future, including joining NATO and EU. Also I personally think the right of self determination should be exercised politically, not militarily. The Ukraine bombed Donbass for eight years... yeah they did, which is horrible. But the separatist were not innocent either during that time, neither was Russia. But it is a Russian trait to blame all on others. Be it "the West", Ukraine or your favourites: the Americans.

@margaret9314 we don't blame Russia for anything because we don't care about Russia at all. If you wouldn't bring war back to our continent we would not even think about you. It is not whataboutism as I don't try to use the situation in Chechnya to accuse Russia of having done something. I am using it in the context of the right of self determination also applying to Russia. Aka it works both ways. Also the right of self determination is not the same as a right of independence. They don't have a right of independence, and let's be honest they won't ever be independent as Russia will annex them. They're no different than Manchuria under the Japanese or Slovakia under the Germans. They have a right to have their opinions heard within Ukraine. In which any potential independence should then be gained to referendums gained via political, not military means. Again a point I try to make is that you are pointing to a right of self determination whilst at the same time your country has threatend to retake Alaska (with a population that doesn't want that), end it's recognition of Lithuanian independence (again violation of the right you point too) and to nuke/bomb London as well as Rotterdam. Not to mention threatend with retaliation on Sweden and Finland on exercising their sovereignty as independent states by choosing their own future. The point I am trying to make is I support the right of self determination and the west should not ignore said right. But I think Russia is the last place on earth to advocate for this right as it seems to cherry pick when and when it doesn't want this right to exist.

@margaret9314 why would he need to disprove about the four eastern oblasts being occupied, I literally already did.

@margaret9314 lol your statement is ad hominem. Also if the American people would vote this way, then they would have the right to do so. Because that is the right of self determination. The right for a people to decide it's own political status. Independence being one of these political statuses. So right of self determination =/= right of independence. Gibraltar expressing the will to remain part of the UK is also the right of self determination. I don't think it's hard to grasp now is it? Why you mentioned the UK and USA specifically, I don't know as I am neither nationality but eh whatever.

@margaret9314 first off I never said they didn't. I pointed you to the fact that self determination is not just the right of independence (which doesn't exist). Which is what seems to be what Russians think it is. Secondly the separatists are not recognized by the international community. What they do is not the proper way to exercise the right of self determination. A proper example of this, is Scotland. Any referendum held during military occupation, and yes that is the case with Crimea, DNR and LNR, are invalid, because of obvious reasons. Especially considering the fact that international observers were not allowed. Imagine if you lived in Kaliningrad and Germany decides that it wants it back. It invades, then holds his troops on the streets and calls for a referendum about joining Germany. While you want to vote there are soldiers outside and you know your vote won't be anonymous. What would you do mate? Exactly the reason why a referendum in occupied territories is not worth nothing. Then there is the ally part... well if they were proper countries, they could do so. They're not, they're an rebellion. It would be like if we caused trouble in Russia and then use it as an excuse to invade. Because let's call it what it is, just a fabricated casus belli. About the US/UK part no you can write about them, but use the dumbest possible example. Especially since there are good examples of the right of self determination in regards to Scotland, Northern Ireland as well as the Spanish region of Catalonia. But then again I shouldn't expect you to know about these things.
